What would be the Model T, if found and you owned it, be? Mine would be an early 1911 Torpedo, all original, and made in 1910. The second one would be a two lever town car. This aside, I would be most happy if I could complete the restroation of my 1910 within my life time, I am 91. Okay, I have owned this T for 77 years . It has always been presentable and aa good runner, so I should not complain.

Darel, an early '11 torpedo, all original would have to be my favorite too. At the age of six, i was gifted one as a "Revell Authentikit". It became my favorite toy, and I was hooked forever. As it is, I was fortunate to acquire a 1913 runabout, and it's definitely my favorite 'cuz it's mine ! (I love them all !)

Mine would be an original 1911 or 1912 pickup truck. Tim Wrenn had a 1912 and sold it 5 years ago. I simply loved that vehicle. He offered a good deal to me. Like a fool, I didn't take it.

I have my favorite year, but a touring would be a little handier than a runabout. A 1915 qualifies officially as a horseless carriage, has enough bling to be a snappy looker without the brass being a big chore, and has the modern convenience of electric lights. I like its style.

A pre T would be an AC or a F. A mighty K is also nice - 07 or 08.

I forgot the topic when you said you've owned your car for 77 years. If that's not a record, it should be. I'm impressed. My '23 Touring is fine, it's the model I wanted when I went searching. I've always liked the more plain-Jane, pedestrian looking cars so you could say I have my favorite Model T.

So many to choose from 🤔
I love closed cars the best so I would like to have one of these. A 1911 2 passenger coupe. Says they built 45 of them?

Only advice I have regarding an '11 Torpedo is you better have LONG legs! :lol: Otherwise I like it but my '13 Touring is still my favorite lady hands down.

Hi Darrel,
I love that you have such a great car and that you've had it so long. Can you post a photo of it? Someone near you might be able to offer help to finish it?

I'm partial to Ts with electric start, touring configuration and "one man top". My '23 Touring fits the bill.

'11 Torpedo is, in my opinion, the most elegant and beautiful of all the "factory-built" Model T's

My dream T would be to find an original speedster with race-history with a Morton & Brett Speedway body, Fronty head, and Buffalo wheels.

My favourite Model T would be a closed version . Smallish in size, limited passenger space. No frills and it has to be black, no brass to maintain. A 1919-1922 Coupe.

'23-'25 Cut-Off home made pickup trucks.

A '25 cut-off touring was my first T, and now have a '23 cut-off touring with original homemade bed..... my favorites!
Like the 'ole T re-purposed the best.
